Mr. Editor: I see it stated In one of our city papers that the Board of Alder men refused to order compulsory vac cination at schools, Ace, now for politi- al reasons. Can this be true? Has cur Board of Aldermen subordinated the health of tbe city to re-viection of its members? WIU the Board make vaccin ation compulsory after the primaries Tuesday night?

FRANK STRONACH. THE WHITE DOE, OR THE FATE OF VIRGINIA DARE. Mrs. Robert Gotten will recite her poem, "The W&ite Doe," -at Metropol itan Hall, on Monday evening, April 10th, under the management of the Indies ot Central Methodist church. This recitation must prove of unusual interest to the people of Raleigh, not only because of their interest in Mrs. Cotten, but because the poem relates, in full the heroic efforts of Sir Warer Ral eigh to secure Anglo-Taxan supremacy in America and its specially embodies the Indian legend in regard to the life and real fate of Virginia Dare. Sdu.ce Mrs. Cbtten's work for the World's Fair indissotubiy linked in the minds of North Carolinians, it was while doing .that; - work that she found, the scattered fragments f the lost Ugcnd of the White Doe. These fragments she has -woven, into a beautiful poem, which adds 'ustre to the historic facts upon which it restt. The anhlect is treated in sucn an ex haustive manner from the description of Roanoke Island to the minutest de tail of love making, that a full Hour is required to recite it, but never once does the listener's interest cease. Mrs. Cotten hi recited mis poem, in Baltimore, Washington, New Haven, rvuhimfotm.

(Communicated.) . il entered the churah Palm Sunday and watched the people coining from the altar in procession with palm in their hands. I thought of that other preces sion long ago and with the :hoir my heart echoed: "Hosannslh to the Son, of David." Wednesday night I attenld the "Stations" or "Way of the Cross.", I was sick at heart it seemed (or me thfre was rest nowhere. And was I consoled? The "Way of the Cross." The sorrows of our Lord brought home to us at each station, each picture a representation of some suffering of Him who died for all. And picturing three sorrows and pondering "them over in my mind my own burdkn seemed iighten.'U and I thought only of the sufferings of Him. What a change on Thursday, . morn ing; the beautiful flowers, the bright lights, the little girls in white marchiug in procession; what could it an mean asked of one. "Why," she said: "Do you not know that this is Holy Thurs day, the day op wnicu our lom gave His Apostles, His Body to eet and His Rlood to drink?" I coudd ee the love in that childish heart and longed to be as happy. And on Good Friday, wnere were tne flowers? Gone and everything on tht altar was coveted with black. And these same people who rejoiced on yesterday are today lowed down in sorrow Detore the image of Him who on that other Friday to"' long ago gave up His 'ifc for me. Yes, let each one say; "He died for me and bow. do I obsre the day on' which He died?" Aiui was . Death victorious?

I said what I did about the Governor's being the logical person to receive the gift because of the fact that it wa said that th presentation by the ufficirn and crew of the shin was to be made to the State of North Carolina, and of course, if such is the case, the Govern. r. as the Chief Executive, would be the logical person to receive it. If, uowevisr. the presentation is to be made to '.ne city of Raleigh, I agree with you rhat the Mayor of Raleigh should receive it. But please understand that I ain not stickling about this affair.

Mr. Editor: I notice in your issue of the 2blh ult. the uame of Mr. D. M. ivuig, was mentioned for Aldermanic honors. 'J. he gentleman who udvocated him evidently knows him, uud 1 fully agree with him in every utterance. I uuve itiuiately known him troaa boy hood. Xhe gentleman stated that he started at the bottom round in the lad der ot life, 'ibis is a fact. D. M. King started as a yard watchman at the R. uud G. shops. After serving in this ca pacity a short w hile he became too am Oitious tor that humble culling. He ue.t sought and obtained a poaiiiou in the iron and brass louudry. After working in this department several mouths he obtained a job in the machine depianient where he served tor several yt-uis, as an apprentice, journeyman aud foreman. He was then empioyea as uu engiuicr, aud iu this he soon ranked A n 1. His successful career was a sub ject of comment among the highest offi cials of the road, in tne course oi uuit, its the system began to expand, it became nectary to create what is called a chief of traveling engineer, which posi tion is filled by the-most competent mart among the engineers. Mr. King was se ll cted to fill this very important position. After serving in this capacity wifh great satisfaction to himself and all concerned he was then elevated to bis present posi tion of Master Mechanic. Is this merit er luck? Mr. Kiug is a broad minded, progressive man, he weighs evtry issue, fie never jumps at conclusions, uis deci sions are generally correct. Mr. King has been one of the leading men in all ot Raliigh successful enterprises. He has made al! of his dollars' in Raleigh. He has invested them in Raleigh. This -is your typical working man, this is the man you should be loyal to. We will now wait till Tuesday night s primary, aud then see how far your loyal nromises reach. Yours for D. M.
